GA Department of Human Services Youth Empowerment Series Seeking High School Students for Leadership Development Opportunity

Posted on 05/10/2018

The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) Youth Empowerment Series (YES) is accepting applicants for the 2018-19 school year and would love to have high school students from our community be a part!

YES offers students an opportunity to participate in several workshops centered on youth development and engagement, such as goal setting, public speaking, resume building and community service activities. The core values underlying the program seek to provide youth with a blueprint to implement change in their community. Students in the program will provide their input and insight on current issues, build workforce skills and develop as leaders. Through career panels, networking and participation, students in the program will also gain exposure to policy and understand how DHS serves Georgians.

If interested, please see the included application and reference form. The application can be downloaded at https://dhs.georgia.gov/apply-yes. The deadline to apply is May 18.
